thanks
I have the same request -- I had been using:
git config --global pager.log 'perl /usr/share/doc/git/contrib/diff-highlight/diff-highlight | less'
That way my diff-highlight script was always up to date.
I just APT-updated and it stopped working (since diff-highlight must now
be built, as of this commit [1]).
I think the following will resolve this, by running the diff-highlight
Makefile when the package is built (following the pattern in
debian/rules for other contrib things):
diff --git a/debian/rules b/debian/rules
index f132a2605..ea018298b 100755
